~~Some good intermediate races 15K - 1/2 marathon, to gauge my fitness level~~ (done this, hit a 1:34:35 1/2 marathon in March 2013, on a hilly course)

Going after my 10 mile PR in Fall 2013

Maybe some good 10K races after the infernal Arizona summer is over!

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to be one of those runners who is still running in their 80s (or 90s?). You know the ones, who look all grisley and fit? That is what I would like! Until then, I just want to work hard and be as fast as I can, for as long as I can.

somewhere between 13 and 14. Up or down the whole run, a little asphalt, a little dirt, a little trail. It was the most beautiful morning to run, seriously, beautiful! My door is always open for you guys to come and stay and run with me!

Just as I come back home to my fastrunningblog home, I am going to be sporatic again -- I will be traveling the next couple weeks - a lot.

Tuesday: day trip to SF

Thursday - Saturday: Rochester, MN (brrrrr)

Next week Thursday - Monday: DC, and home via Indianapolis (brrrrr and zzzzz for time change!)

welcome back!...and bon voyage!

that's a busy schedule -- safe travels and good luck with the brrrrs and the zzzzzs. you can borrow my candy corn gloves if you want.

andrea told me yesterday that the weather in phoenix is high 80/low 60 right now and i literally screamed: "why don't i live in AZ!" i still don't have my early spring racing plans figured out, but "race in tucson or thereabouts" is on the list.

i hope the visit with the doc goes well in a couple of weeks (and i hope you are doing okay). i may just have to come out and watch you crush a 50k!
